Planning is Buying Prime Ribs Cook Thurs:

Buy the prime rib up to a week in advance, allowing time to dry age.

Meat is a selection of Prime Ribs:

Beef selection is graded as Prime, Choice and Select. This is done based on the age of the animal, texture, tenderness and marbling of fat (more is better)

Prime is best and can be hard to obtain considering this is a seriously expensive piece of meat usually reserved for restaurants.

Choice is the next best and is generally Available to meat markets like Sams Club or Costco. Choice is our best selection and goal.

Select is the more common grocery store meat selection, usually Tougher and leaner (dry)

Key techniques are Cooking Prime Ribs:

Cooking a prime rib is a four step process.

First chose the right piece of meat.

Second dry the prime age, allowing the prime to sit, uncovered 2-7 days. During this time, excess moisture is evaporated and the flavors concentrate, and the muscle tissue breaks down making it more tender

Third Is to the prime-brown in a hot pan, so the outside develops a deep brown crust.

Four, the prime cook low and slow so that the meat from the outside edge to the center is done uniformly.
